---------------------------------
你是否曾想像自己如书法大师一样挥毫呢?来试试吧,用你的手指在iPad和iPhone上练习毛笔书法。

“活字帖”利用中国古代名家书法作品中的原笔迹,在你描摹或者临帖时绘制出来,使得你的书法效果能媲美真迹,让你体验如书法家一样的练字感受,更真切的感受书法的魅力。

本作与现有大多数作品的最大区别在于,大多数现有的作品只是根据手指运行轨迹,用计算机计算模拟出类似于毛笔笔迹的效果。但是,因为触摸屏的限制,计算机再如何聪明,又如何能知道用户运笔时的轻重缓急,浓淡干湿呢?故本作规避了用笔技巧,着重于练习每个字的字体结构。因此,本作并不能代替笔墨纸砚的常规练字方法,但是却可以从一定程度上提高用户的书法水平。

《兰亭集序》被誉为中国古代书法的第一行书,本版本免费提供前100个字,后续字体需要IAP解锁或者由完整版获得。

本App现有8个字帖:
- 兰亭集序(王羲之)
- 基本笔画(楷书四大家)
- 快雪时晴帖(王羲之)
- 南无阿弥陀佛(弘一法师)
- 秾芳诗帖(宋徽宗)
- 仲尼梦奠帖(欧阳询)
- 琴赋(文徵明)
- 般若波罗蜜多心经 (赵孟頫)
